I recommend the college

My time at the College of Dupage was incredible. I made sure that I was involved, so that I could fully enjoy my college experience to the fullest. I played on the women’s basketball team for the two years that I was there. I worked on campus as well. College of Dupage is a junior college. I graduated from the College of Dupage in two years with my Associates in Science with honors. I received a good education there. I would recommend College of Dupage for people who not only want to save money with their schooling, but also for those who do not know what they want to become career wise but would like to take classes. I knew what I wanted to do when I entered the college, so when I transferred to a four-year university I found it very beneficial that I already had an associate’s degree. My primary purpose for attending College of Dupage was to play basketball, but I made so many other memories as well from the friendships I made, as well as the foundation that I got for my college career.

Good teachers

Graduation Year:
I graduated back in 1998 from The College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. This college was, and still is I believe, considered one of the best community Colleges in the country. John Bolshie from the very first episodes of “Saturday Night Live attended the college. He then went on to be one of the main stars in “The Blues Brothers Movie”.
Graduating from The College of Dupage wasn’t easy. It was tough because the teachers were good, very good. They did not skimp on anything, and although they could be extremely demanding and challenging, most of them made those demands and challenges fun, easily seen as readily beneficial, and interesting. Most of the college teachers could be counted on for support with my work assignments both in class and after class hours in their on campus offices. Surely there were teachers too who were quite “hard-nosed” and once they gave out the work, their work was done. It was up to me then to find my own support with my class assignments if needed, and usually with my other classmates. In my opinion, it was just their style of teaching; I learned no less from them than from all my teachers. I feel I received a full, rich, and well rounded education from The College of DuPage. I graduated with highest honors having a 3.98 GPA. And, without the help from my incredible professors and classmates, and the exceptional college’s administration, and the massive amounts of on campus resources, I never could have done as well as I did at one of the best Community College’s in the country, the College of DuPage.
